Dec 03, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --
BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Friday. Since October 2008 market makers are now required to be on the bid as much as they are on the offer and for like amounts of stock. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Friday there were 4180 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3141 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2377 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), AT&T Inc (NYSE:T), Aes Corp (NYSE:AES), Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE:BBY), Aurcrest Gold Inc (NYSE:AGO), Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:MACK).

For example, the chart above shows MS with 2,320,998 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.01000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.
